Mr. Gorman made good use of his time abroad, and he noted particu- larly the expert training which Nor- wegian fishermen receive. Similar training here, he believes, would al- low our fishermen to handle their equipment to better advantage, and this was necessary if they hoped to compete adequately with foreign fishermen off our shores. Mr. Gorman’s statement {s in line with the views expressed by fishery officials in other provinces and at Ottawa. Concerted action is being planned, and Federal Minister Robichaud has indicated that a na- tional conference for the discussion of a Canadian fishery expansion program may meet this fall or early winter. He has asked for provincial proposals as to what the program should involve. Last week Mr. Robichaud ad- dressed the Newfoundland Le gis- lature on this subject, making the same point which Mr. Gorman made in commenting on the situation in this province. “Canada’s fishermen,” he said, “have not. yet applied the technical knowledge available, and they must be trained and educated to use the latest techniques.” The decision to implement the 12-mile fishery limit would give protection to Canadian fishermen, but the time has come for providing training facilities as well. The federal minister reported that all ten provinces have shown “tremendous interest” in the pro- posed conference, which could havi far-reaching results on the economy of this Atlantic area. fue nadian Demanding Deeper Probe How to rebuild, after the Pro- fumo scandal, Britain’s badly tar- nished intelligence and security ser- vices? That is the question, and it is doubtful whether Prime Minister Macmillan’s refusal to yield to Labor demands for an all-party commit- tee of investigation, and his decis- ion to substitute a one-man judicial inquiry instead, will satisfy the public mind. For after the damag- ing admissions made by the Prime Minister himself on the subject, there can be no illusions about Brit- feh security in any quarter. ! Mr. Harold Wilson, on this point, reminded the House of Commons that the British Government. spends £60,000,000 (or $168,000,000) a year on its security services and it was a Sunday newspaper which was largely responsible for tracking down the Profumo story. As read {nto the parliamentary debate, ‘that story was enough—in the words of one British commentator—‘‘to make our allies’ hair stand on end.” What is expected from these revelations is that the security ser- vice will be probed to its depths and appropriate action taken. Mr. Wil- gon maintains that an inquiry by @ judge would be “totally inadequate to allay public anxiety”’—that its terms of reference would be far too narrow to deal with the matter. What he wants is a select all-party eommittes of the Commons with power to call any witnesses, includ- ing Mr. Macmillan and his colleag- wes and ex-War Minister John mo, ts gg Meanwhile the question of Mr. Macmillan’s political future remains unclear, He seems to be looking for- ward to remaining in office, and his party followers are reportedly clos- ing ranks in support of this view. Even the London Times, however, reports that in Westminster it is taken for granted that Mr. Mac- millan will not lead the Conserva- tives at the next election and that therefore no time should be lost in establishing his suscessor, Much will depend, perhaps, how the security inquiry is prose- cuted and what results it achieves. The Riddle Of ‘Flu’ Since the great epidemic of in- fluenza after World War I the ob- stinately recurrent disease has been keeping investigators busy. Hardly has a ‘flu virus been brought under control but it disappears and an en- tirely different one takes its place. The last ‘flu epidemic, of 1957-58, for example, was engineered by a virus called A 2, which had replac- ed A 1, the successor of A plain, the “classical” germ of 1918. The first variety of A 1 from 1934 to 1947, to be followed by the second variety which in 1957 handed over to “Asia”, In 1963, A2 is scar found any more, according to Professor H. Lip- pelt, of the department of ship and tropical diseases in the great port hospital of Hamburg, Germany. Presumably 3 is s retly maturing somewhere for next run. Types B and C, minor importance, are now of sporadic occurrence. The worst of it is that the va ous ’flus differ serologically. All are “antigens”, which means they evoke in the infected body the formation of antibodies fitting their shapes as a key fits a lock. These antibodies render the germs innocuous. People who have had a flu usually develop a good degree of immunity to the virus concerned. But ‘flu now alters the lock by sending a new virus, and the old key no longer fits the new lock. When A 2 came in 1957, was immune to it, since all antibod- jes were of the A 1 pattern. Like some generals, our bodies always prepare for the last war instead of the next one. Small wonder ‘flu took a heavy toll, infecting more than 80 per cent of the diverse populations. A 2 can do us little harm—say the scientis since we are stuffed with aatitbinstics against this type; but, as was said before, ‘flu is likely to come with some new and different germ the next time. The Cold Shoulder The Peking Review, principal external propaganda vehicle of the Peking government, makes curious reading these days. The latest issue completely ignores the existence of the Soviet Union. There are ample references to allegedly wicked capitalistic powers and their machinations. India, too, and Indonesia, Korea and Japan, all exist in the Chinese Communist picture of the world. Romania has purportedly improved its scientific and technical relations with China and hence presumably exists. North Korea looms large on the Peking versions of the globe and workers in the Congo are said to be in solid- arity with Chinese .workers—a singular achievement if true. But nowhere does the Soviet Union appear in the world of the Peking Review. One of its most re- markabe achievements was to pro- duce in its January issue an article on Cuba’s strained relations with the United States without once mentioning or recognizing the exist- ence of the Soviet Union or Soviet influence, Soviet weapons, and So- viet interest in Cuba. The West sits and waits for this situation to clarify. Presumably any- thing could happen at the July 5 meeting of the two Communist pow- ers in Moscow—anything, as one commentator has expressed it, from a total break to a total reconcilia- tion. Existing signs and portents do not appear to point to total recon- ciliation. EDITORIAL NOTE.

Dangerous Press Control Winnipeg Free Press A good rule-of-thumb by which to determine the nature of a government is the measure of latitude permitted the press of the country concerned. In a de- mocracy, as we understand. the term, the press is free to critic- ize the government and govern- ment offi 1es— al- ways, of course, within the lim- its imposed by the laws of libel. ‘This at times makes things un- pleasant for those ciricized. But more often it results in greater efficiency and honesty on the part of the government. In a totalitarian state, how- | ever — be it Fascist or Com- munist — the government can- not afford to permit the press such latitude.
